One thought struck me while reading Excalibur 3. Wouldn't it be more interesting and in character if Gambit snuck away from the group one night and started making deals of his own. Maybe set up some deal with Morgana. Reminiscing Messiah Complex. The situation is similiar for Rogue. The key difference is that back then Gambit was considered a enemy(stupid as it was) and now he's not. Still Betsys "plan" isn't working and Gambit has no reason to hold out hope for Apocalyspe saving the day.
In general I rather see such a plot being done then this mess we got now.
Of course this would only bea good idea if Rogue supported him after she was ok again. No more needless drama. I want them to support each other.
